As you probably already know if you caught last Wednesday's episode of Idol, the final contestants took that long ride up the elevator where they met the judges face-to-face and learned whether they would be joining the top 24 or going home. I think the talent this season promises to be phenomenal. Here are the top 24:
Alaina Whitaker, age: 16 from Tulsa, OK.
Alexandrea Lushington, age: 16, Atlanta, GA.
Amanda Overmyer, age: 23, Mulberry, IN.
Amy Davis, age: 25, Cedar Lake, IN.
